Well, it's not like that $40 million is just going to disappear from the face of the earth never to be seen again. And the same argument could be made against having $40 million in the first place. Or for spending $10,000 on a week long vacation. Or for paying $120/month for cable.

I watched the first half last night, a much better show than the season premier.

My experience with conspiracy theorists is that they are not on a quest for scientific truth. Whatever their motivation they will cling to their beliefs long past the point of reason. The best you can hope for is to prevent them from pulling in people who are uninformed on the topic. Shows like the Mythbusters moon-myths help tremendously with that.
